there will be no rest for the weary, and at

Mr.. EDITOR: There has been series of
preaching going on in this neighborhood,
i'll school house at the old Haynie muster
ground. Preaching began last Monday
night, and continued until Sunday night.
Revs. Wightman and Ligon preached du-
ring the week, with the assistance Of those
great workers for God-M[essrs. Cummings,
Shields, Beacham, Andrews and others
for the Master. Great and lasting good
has been done-many have been impressed
that now is the accepted time, and to flee
from the wrath to come. The Sunday
School at this place is doing good work
for the cause Of Christ. Mr.. Shields, who
is superintendent, is always at his post of
duty, teaching and praying always ready
for his work. The school numbers seven
ty-five pupils, who are jealous in their
Bible studies. Go on with your work,
Bro. Shields, and God will bless you abun-
dantly. VAxENNEs.
Obituary.
Died, near Townville, s. c., May 4th,
of pneumonia, Adger, oldest son of Rev.
T. C. Ligon, Pastor of Townville Pres
byterian Church, aged II years.
Again has death come into our midst
and invaded the sacred precincts of
happy family circle and claimed for his
own that one in whom were centered the
hopes of fond father and doting
mother. In the death OF this bright and
promising youth many cherished hopes,
both of parents and friends, of future use
fulness in Church and State, are blasted.
He had been for some months student at
the Townville Academy, and his was,
without doubt, the brightest mind that it
has ever been the good fortune Of the
present Teacher to have under his care,
as was evinced by the rapid progress
made in every branch of study. By his
manly conduct and gentlemanly deport-
ment, he had greatly endeared himself to
both trustees and pupils, and for one so
young, he gave evidence of the possession
of the qualities of that higher style of
man, "a Christian gentleman" Some
months ago he had united with the
Church Of his fathers, and ever since had
adorned his profession OF faith. A few
moments before his death his mother
spoke to him about going to Heayen.
He replied that he was almost there, and
told her to lay her face close beside his,
and thus he breathed out his life. Borne
by six of his fellow pupils, accompanied
by six girls bearing .wre eaths and crosses
of flowers, he was laid to rest, after ap-
propriate funeral services by Rev. J. M.
T.. Seabrook and Rev. j.. Walter Dickson,
the whole school joining in singing at the
grave, "Shall we gather mt the River?"
Verify, "God moves in mysterious
way,h and to bis will we bow, feeling
that the Judge of all the earth will do

Big Island yesterday afternoon. and one
of them disrobed, and leaving his clothes
in the buggy with his companions, pro-
ceeded to take a little swim all by him

Rock. But alas, for the misguided con
fidence of human nature. lis woefully
sad to be deceived, especially if it be by
fosom friends with whom there Is rea~
son to place every confidence and stake
everything you own, even to the last rag
of clothing. How sad. how pitiably
and peculiarly sad then were the feelings
which stole over this young man
afternoon, when he beheld his
cruel companions drive off and
leave him in the water. without friends
